Classic Gardens & Landscape Inc
About us
Classic Gardens & Landscape, Inc. was founded in January of 1990. Previously in the same location was another landscape/garden center that Mike had worked with for five years. When that business left they took everything with them. Mike and Ann started over from scratch. The name Classic was chosen to signify the quality type of garden center that Mike & Ann had envisioned. But a name alone does not a garden center make. Questions were asked, “What is most important to customers that shop at garden centers?”. Our answers such as excellent quality and a huge selection of hard to find plants were obvious. But the most important asset of a quality garden center is excellent Service and very knowledgeable staff.

They are good folks.
The follow up was a little "fuzzy" - I wanted to discuss with wife and then confirm with them. That took a couple of emails and apparently they weren't in a hurry to get us scheduled (they just seemed busy - our biggest issue was simply "when can you come?") Would have been helpful to know the actually process for getting this part down (send us a check for 10% of the job - then we'll know you are serious and put you on the schedule). So this may have just been a one-time snafu. Otherwise, everything went smoothly (he kept us appraised on schedule changes).
Showed up on time on a Friday (about 8:30 AM), thoroughly cleaned out the overgrown ruins of our front planers and bush areas (can't recall what that area is called) and were done by 3 PM. Left a very clean area overall and event accommodated a request or two on our part. Not cheap - but they get the job done quickly and effectively with very minimal trouble or mess. So I think the quality of the work is worth the cost. Compliments all around from the neighbors!
Would highly recommend. Overall was very happy with them and will have them come back and do more work for us! I believe you get what you pay for - they are worth the money.
